Stars & Promises Alive is a follow-up from Mayer's first Christmas album Stars and Promises. Stars & Promises Alive was recorded live at one of the immensely popular Peter Mayer Christmas concerts of the same name, in Nashville, TN.
This CD includes four new original songs: "The Story of Christmas," "Harmony" (which was co-written and performed as a duet with acclaimed songwriter Mac McAnally), "Hey Joseph," and "This Town"; as well as some of the favorites from the original Stars and Promises CD. It also includes fresh renditions of "Little Drummer Boy," "Angels We Have Heard On High/Carol of the Bells," and "Silent Night."
As with Stars and Promises, Mayer adds Native American wood flute, percussion from around the world, and a strings section to his distinctive acoustic guitar performance. The enthusiastic applause heard between songs lets listeners embrace how electrifying the live Christmas performances are.
